50 Word Story

I’m knee deep in Reading for Reasearch Month but I’m still trying to produce my manuscripts for 12X12 (and myself). That being said, there’s yet another contest going on and this one is quite the challenge. Can you write a complete story in only 50 words?

As I struggle to tighten up my picture book manuscripts and keep them short (a problem a poet really shouldn’t have, right?), I thought this one might be a good one to give a try. AND I put on my teacher thinking cap and thought along the lines of a phonics reader. See what you think (below).
